Flat Tire at Patna

What: Air India Airbus A320-200 en route from Delhi to Patna
Where: Patna
When: Oct 26 2010
Why: A runway inspection indicated a runway inspection at Delhi indicated debris on the runway, and that on takeoff, several runway edge lights had been destroyed, presumably from the takeoff of the Air India Airbus A320-200. The runway had to be closed for repairs.

On landing at Patna, a tire burst on the Airbus. It is presumed that the runway edge lights may have caused some preliminary damage to the tires.

George’s Point of View

*Note to pilot: repeat 3 x: runway lights are not speed bumps.
